Do I have diabetes of pre-diabetes? |
I went to the doctor because I got dizzy while driving. My blood pressure was OK, so he said it might be my blood sugar. I had breakfast that morning and my blood sugar tested at 91. He said that he still wanted to run the 3-month glucose test (I think it's called AC1?). Is there a possibility I could still have diabetes or pre-diabetes even though my random (non-fasting) sugar tested at 91 just 2-3 hours after breakfast? Thanks so much for any guidance!! you really need to take the fasting glucose test. blood sugars change constantly when you are eating. Good luck! You almost got it correct -- the 3 month glucose test is called an A1C. The only way to truly tell if you are diabetic is with a glucose tolerance test. This is where you drink something that taste like orange pop, then they take your blood 1/2 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours and so on. The Normal Blood Sugar is Between 80-120. But, It Should Be Slightly Raised after meals. I Think You Could Have Hypoglycemia, rather than Diabetes. 91 sounds good. Maybe too much coffee? |
